Title: An integrated information model for traffic planning, operation and management of railway lines
Abstract: This paper presents an integrated information model for traffic planning, operation and management of railway lines that has been implemented in the new control center of the Madrid-Lleida high speed line. The long- and medium-term planning information is created with an off-line planner tool, which generates an operational plan in XML format. This plan contains the data needed for real-time control (as train technical scheduling and infrastructure restrictions), crew and vehicle scheduling, passenger management (as commercial scheduling, transfers), and infrastructure cost assignment to train operators. The off-line plan is exported to the operational network, and is the unique base information of every real-time system in this network: signaling control system, passenger information system and train supervision and delay control system. In the short-term (operation), when it is necessary to modify the plan with the on-line planner tool, real-time systems are immediately notified using a MOM bus and changes are updated, so coherence of information is guaranteed. In the same way, any event generated by a real-time is notified to the rest, sharing real-time information. Da VINCI is the product that implements the design in the high speed rail control center of Zaragoza.
